2 What are question tags?Question tags are short questions at the end of a sentence, either requesting information (when the voice goes up) or inviting agreement (when the voice goes down). Positive tags are normally used with negative sentences, and negative tags with positive sentences:You don’t live here, do you?John enjoyed the meal, didn’t he?

3 As well as do and did (with present and past simple), other auxiliary verbs are used in question tags:He isn’t very friendly, is he?I can park here, can’t I?You’ve eaten all the cake, haven’t you?Be careful with have and have got:She has a nice car, doesn’t she?She has got a nice car, hasn’t she?

4 The question tag after an imperative is will you, and after Let’s it is shall we:Don’t forget to ring, will you?Let’s pay the bill, shall we?Be careful with:She’d rather stay at home, wouldn’t she?You’d better have a rest, hadn’t you?I am late, aren’t I?
